The municipality of Ankaran plans to launch a public competition in early September for the development of a new central area, aiming to create a modern coastal hub in Slovenian Istria. The project aims to connect green areas, existing residential zones, and the coastline through a central promenade, along with underground parking and cycling infrastructure. Key elements include spaces for culture, local governance, and elderly care. The area above the Adriatic Highway includes the town center, while the area below currently hosts a tourist camp operated by Adria Ankaran. The municipality intends to relocate some activities to the eastern part of the camp and has offered an alternative location at Debeli Rtič. The evaluation committee, led by Swiss architect Max Bosshard, emphasizes creating diverse spatial arrangements from forested areas to the sea.
